ST. MARYS — Sidney lost its sixth consecutive game on Saturday evening to an opponent that has won eight consecutive games, but coach John Willoughby is happy the squad showed some effort against a stout opponent.

The Yellow Jackets couldn’t slow St. Marys Memorial and Ohio State signee Austin Parks and lost 92-64. Parks, who became the program’s all-time leading scorer in a victory over Coldwater on Tuesday, set the program’s single-game scoring record on Saturday by amassing 45 points.

Sidney junior forward Mitchell Davis, who is 6-foot-4, is Sidney’s only player taller than 6-2. Parks, a 6-foot-11 senior, dominated in the paint, as did 6-7 junior forward Jace Turner, who scored 24.

Despite a lopsided loss, Willoughby said he’s proud of the team’s effort, especially coming off a 65-41 loss at Xenia (5-11) on Friday.

“Our effort hasn’t been there the last four or five games,” Willoughby said. “This team brought it out of us. I thought we fought as hard as we could, with the big (height) disadvantage we had. I didn’t see anybody give up or quit. It was good to at least visualize how hard you have to play.

“We tried to keep a guy in front and behind, but they do a good job of passing the ball, and they hit some 3’s early. We knew they were going to hit some 3’s, but we just didn’t want them to continue pounding it in there, which they did at the end.”

The Roughriders (11-5) built a 23-14 lead by the end of the first quarter. The teams traded points to a 43-34 halftime score, but Parks and Turner each scored 10 in the third quarter to lead a 26-16 scoring edge that put the game away.

Sam Reynolds led Sidney (7-11) with 19 points while Myles Vordemark scored 17 and Julius Spradling scored 11. Davis and Jayce Daniel each scored seven.

“I thought Sam and Myles played really well, and kept us in the game early,” Willoughby said. “Mitchell battled against those guys tonight. It’s one of the strongest game he’s had. Julius showed what he can do.”

Sidney has another tough game scheduled on Tuesday with Troy (14-4), which is in contention with Tippecanoe for the overall MVL title.

“Hopefully we come to play,” Willoughby said. “We’ve been on a downtrend here. Hopefully the effort tonight gets us going back the way we need. I’m disappointed sometimes when my teams don’t play as hard as they should, and we haven’t been playing as hard as we should.

“You’re never pleased by getting beat by a score like this, but you can be pleased with the effort, and I’m very pleased with the effort tonight.”
